'No regrets' notion worked for Burke

The fact that Chris Burke was pinch-hit for Tuesday night in the same inning he opened with a homer is not such a rarity after all. It has happened 10 times in the past 20 seasons, including twice earlier by the Padres. Luis Lopez pinch-hit for Bip Roberts on May 31, 1994, after Roberts had homered earlier in the inning. And Rob Nelson pinch-hit for Jack Clark in 1989 after Clark had homered earlier in the inning.

The 10-game winning streak that ended Tuesday tied for the third-longest in Padres history and was the longest since the club-record 14-game winning streak in 1999.
